Dobbs and Alternative Payment Models on the Agenda at the 2023 Health Law Section Annual CLE Program
By The last few years have seen dramatic changes in the field of health care. The NCBA Health Law Section’s Annual CLE Program on April 21 will include a session addressing the U.S. Supreme Court’s historic abortion decision. The session is titled “The Impact of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization on Health Care Providers” by Joan Anderson of McGuire Woods. This timely session will explore liability and policy considerations for individual health care providers, hospital and health systems; and explore trends and legal developments in state legislative actions as a result of Dobbs. Additionally, this session will discuss considerations for providers and health care organizations in developing and implementing clinical policies and procedures to ensure appropriate medical care is given to patients — including local patients and those who have traveled from other states to seek care.
Another timely, North Carolina-focused session will be “Alternative Payment Models: The View From North Carolina” by Barry Herrin (Herrin Health Law), Erin Roberts (Roberts Law Office) and Steve Pine (K&L Gates). This session will delve into different types of alternative payment models (APMs) available to North Carolina providers, case studies of differing opportunities in value-based care, as well as state law issues confronting the design and operation of APMs in North Carolina. The panel will also discuss trends in the value-based and APM environment, and the evolution of payor-provider relationships.
